Abstract
Introduction: The lack of efficient and principled management in the villages, especially in recent decades, has created problems for the villagers. The traditional management structure cannot solve the problems of a productive and interactive rural society in times of drastic changes. Identifying the dimensions of this vulnerability of rural communities and the response of rural management is the subject of investigation in this research.
Purpose of the research: The present study was conducted to analyze the role of rural management in reducing the vulnerability of the lives of villagers in Shurab Dehistan, Chegani County.
Methodology: This research is a descriptive-analytical study using a survey, and the statistical population under investigation includes 50 people from the villages of Shorab village of Chegani County. The collected data were analyzed in the form of a structural equation model.
Geographical area of research: Shorab Rural District is in Visian District of Chegani County in Lorestan Province.
Results and discussion: The current research emphasizes economic vulnerability as the most critical vulnerability in rural settlements. Among the indicators/items that explain the variable of rural vulnerability, the item of reducing the quality of life and lack of employment, from the item of physical vulnerability, the indicator/item of efforts to improve the physical condition of the village, among the item of social vulnerability, the item/empowerment and capacity building Local people and institutions have the most contribution and influence in rural development and the issue of economic vulnerability/the issue of employing in villages and the development of jobs resulting from rural tourism.
Conclusion: In social dimensions, rural management policies should focus on improving living conditions, improving the level of awareness and skills of villagers, and supporting the rural social network. In economic terms, paying attention to the development of local and sustainable industries, supporting entrepreneurship and employment in rural areas, and ecotourism development can help rural development.
